Well, you knobs are no fun, so I'm at the bar. Tonight's band is a straightforward, two-Telecaster bar band. Which is all this joint deserves.

Do you think its better than Metformin? I hear Metformin's  the new, miracle, life-prolonging drug the hipsters and silicon valley execs are taking. For some reason I objected to it and my doc gave me the thigh piercing alternative that allegedly has the side effect of weight loss.

I couldn't tell you, as I am on Metformin too. And Farxiga. And the thing you jab in your thigh.

 
I began taking Metformin around Aug '18. My blood glucose level got into the 7 a1c range - doc was happy. 

By November, I was having stomach pains, cramps, gas, diarrhea and began losing weight fast. I was at a great bmi already, so, any weight loss was unnecessary and unwanted. 

By March, I was bordering on malnourished - just could not eat enough - was getting 2400 cal/day - I need 3000 min, for normal activities - more when working out regularly. 

My doc kept blaming some unknown stomach ailment. After too many tests that found nothing more than a hiatal hernia (not the problem), I finally stopped taking metformin on my own. 

Within a week, I had gained 4 pounds, lost nearly all my stomach pain, lost nearly all my hand and foot pain, stopped taking all my OTC crap for stomach and pain and now feel better than I have in over a year. 

I have managed my blood glucose by eating super low carb and exercising a lot. It has averaged around 250 these past 2 weeks I've been med free. It is too high, and I know it. I also know that I can't keep this up. I need to go back to meds. 

I see my doc Wednesday, and I am going to explore other options. But, unless something crazy occurs, I'm done with metformin. 

Bah... 

GL guys. 

Edit - oh, I was taking the metformin / glipizide combo - so, I'm not sure which med was the real problem. Could be both.

It is your fault.  How could you allow such a thing?

She's mad because you didn't like them, or mad because she didn't know how to make them?

I gave up red meat a long time ago... so I eat turkey burgers instead. not even close to that dripping delicious rare/medium-rare beef burger... but say la vee.

I tried giving up red meat, but as a type 2 diabetic, I am pretty carb restricted. 

I primarily eat chicken breast, turkey, pork loin and other "loin" cuts of all kinds, but I still eat my reds - just in moderation.

It seems that most every thing has a way of kicking my ### these days - I just roll.

if i had to guess, she got mad because she's embarrassed that she feels like a failure for not doing something perfectly the first time she attempted it. that's her personality.

all i said was "these don't look quite done" and she freaked out

i could have said nothing and had my kids refuse to eat, which would have led to her freaking out at the kids. really it was a no win.

When I was on those two drugs I lost 30lbs in a month, but I also nearly died from an upper respiratory infection, bronchitis and pneumonia.

Any stomach probs from it?

How much Metformin were you taking? I can only tolerate 500mg a day otherwise I get the same stomach problems you had.

Ah, thanks. I was taking 2x500 per day.

When I was 1st diagnosed, I had over 700 blood glucose. Now, without meds, thanks to other measures, I am avg. 250.

Maybe I can try 1/day, if there are no better options.

Thnx much, Mr. Pack

Ask your doc for Trulicity. Trulicity together with Treseba and Metormin, I've been averaging about a BG of 140 and my A1c is down to 7.1

My joke killed at the memorial

After watching my sister die I flew back home to Austin. There I found my beloved poodle in kidney failure and about to die. I was disconsolate, I decided to send myself some flowers, but I forgot to include a card. When I got them I didn't know who they were from.
